"The owner was amazing! She was very accommodating and provided excellent personal service. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend this hotel."
"The check in lady was nice once I could reach her. I had to ask a guest in the garden restaurant to call the number for me so we could check in and then again to get the wifi code. The room was above a pub that played loud music until well after midnight. The door knob on the bathroom was broken and a family member got locked in there until we found the broken piece of the knob to open the door. "
"Parked at Sainsbury's using JustPark then five mins walk to accom. Easy to find and was on top floor in the roof conversation. VERY warm night and almost slept outside instead. Couple fans would have been great. Bed was comfy. Shared shower and kitchen spaces with the other residents "
"This property was not as described, the room had nothing but a bed and some cupboards it’s the most basic living space you can imagine. There were some unsavoury characters staying there as felt unsafe."

8/10 Good
"It was July and there is no AC, seriously uncomfortable. But, besides that everything was good. Close to the port if you're going on a cruise. Lots of restaurants within walking distance and a large mall. "
"Stayed here for a night prior to a cruise. Family room was great size. Staff were all great abd very helpfuk. Breakfast was standard buffet breajfast, something for everyone, fresh and hot. Would stay again if we take another cruise from Southampton "
"We had a one night stay between cruises. The front desk receptionist, Carly greeted us upon our arrival and gave a few options to do while we waited for check in. We checked in but I room wouldn't be ready since we got there around 11am. We were able to store our luggage at the hotel and walk to mall that is very near. Had lunch and did some shopping. When we returned, a room was available for us early. Would definitely stay here again in the future. "
"We had an overnight stay before boarding our ship the next day. Parking for me was great and complimentary but I do think there is a charge normally. At reception we were met and our cases were taken care of by the porters, receptionists x 3 were at hand for booking in. We had booked a standard room
So I asked if we could upgrade and was given a superior room with balcony and views of the Solent and cheap as chips.
Our cases were in the room as we got there
No struggle. The bed was a king size and bathroom had bath and separate shower.
My only criticism, the step up to the shower was too high for me. Dinner was at Marco Pierre White restaurant and was excellent and at a reasonable price. Our sleep was long and uninterrupted (bliss). Morning coffee provided. Our breakfast experience was one of the best we have had in Southampton say no more. Would we stay here again? Mmmmmm. You bet your life we would. Well Done!! Ken & Jill Haycock. "
"After a long flight our room was ready when we arrived a couple of hours early. Perfect. The location was convenient. The room was fine, we did not make use of the available gin."
"From the pictures on the site, it indicated that toileries would be provided. But there was none to be seen. Initially had problems getting into my room, because the no. received was incorrect. Contacted the Office and this was corrected immediately. The no.19a bus goes to the 'Shirley' area, just ask the driver to put you off at the Howard Road bus stop. Take the 1st left and you are on Howard Road and the Guest House is on the right. The full address of your premises needs to include 'Shirley,' Southampton. Teas, milk, sugar in the room was good. During my stay, i said hello to everyone. The fridge was dirty, but still had to put things in the fridge as safely as i could. No one said that they are 'staff on the premises'. I did find the stairs challenging because i had a large suitcase. Maybe next time I will opt for ground floor level, if choice was given.
